    Srilanka snake farm. Really nice family to visit. Good amount of snakes they show you. You are allowed to hold all the non venomous snakes. Pictures are also allowed to be taken. 1000 rupees per person but it's really worth it. A must visit place for any tourist in srilanka.

    I knew what to expect based on previous reviews but I still doubted it would happen like it did. We got there and he was just literally standing in front of his house, we asked if this was the snake farm and he warmly welcomed us in. The guy was VERY informative and very laid back. Basically his family finds or receives these snake either from the wild or the snakes are injured, or from neighbors, he rehabilitates them then releases them into the National Forest Reservation. I really enjoyed myself and left with more information about snakes than I started. I definitely recommend it. By the way, he collects the fee at the end and it was 1000 Sri lankan Rupee per person.

    Quite a small place , but they have few interesting species, worth a visit, you can experience less poisonous ones in your hand. Friendly guy, he does this as its his generation into this business.

    Great place for seeing and touching all kind of snakes. The friendly owner has a wide knowledge and provides you with all the information about the snake races you see in a very good English. Takes about one hour to see all the snakes. Definitely worth a visit even for people who are not really into reptiles. 5 stars!!

    This is the real deal! was there 5 years ago and noticed now that two other farms popped up just around the corner, hope they can keep their farm going.

    This is a great place to visit. You get to handle and learn about many species of snakes. The owner is a 3rd generation snake rescue and rehabilitation. Also makes anti venoms for the locals. Truly great experience and your money will be going to a good cause. It's a must in my opinion!

    Amazing experience. Knowledgeable person on snake behaviour and snake handling. Appreciate the efforts taken by the owner in protecting these animals.

    An up close and personal experience with some of Sri Lanka’s most impressive snakes. The highlight for me was the 20kg python but the cobra’s also commanded a high degree of respect. Vikman who runs the farm is a lovely man, clearly passionate about what he is doing and a walking encyclopedia of Sri Lankan wildlife. The overall experience was completely unique and unforgettable.

    It was great. Thanks so much. Cool, it's not a zoo, it's was individual.

👍👍 Interesting experience. You get to see many snakes, and you can also touch them and have them crawl over you if you are not afraid (but it is safe). And the owner is friendly. We recommend visiting.
